How do I get the Unlock App to bypass the Android lock screen?
-
Just disable the Native Android Pin code security screen
Settings > Unlock > No unlock method or some such :)
-
On newer versions of Android I've had to run a seperate app from play store to remove the lock screen.
You should also be able to add your NFC ring as a trusted device and unlock from the stock lock screen that way. -
What @johnyma22 suggests won't work due to the company regulations. You have to add your ring as an trusted device. Then use it to bypass the lock screen.
-
@johnyma22 I'm not allowed to do that without deleting my company email account
-
@Lokki Which app did you use?
-
"NoLockScreen" I think it was, there are a couple there.
-
You might want to try the SmartLock option in the android settings. The ring bypasses the lock without removing it.
-
@Berg - a few of us have been having some issues with smartlock failing to respond after the first few times.
-
@Lokki I've been only using it since 24h, but with 4 rings and on 2 devices - so far so good :) I will report if it ends up failing.
-
Cool. It's really frustrating, sometimes.
-
From what I know, all the currently available solutions will only work either with no lock screen, or bypassing your lock screen. There is no option that I know of that asks for your pin and NFC ring.
-
mine nexus 6 ask for my normal andriod pin and ring
-
@Jose That's actually how it goes by default on my phone when I enable NFC Ring unlock: first PIN then ring..
-
@Berg Huh! I guess I'll have to check when I get my ring :)
